Using Design Experiments to Conduct Research on Mathematics Professional Development

Using Design Experiments to Conduct Research on Mathematics Professional Development

In this paper, we propose that the emerging transformation of mathematics professional development from a practice-based to a research field would benefit from stronger connections to research on learning. In particular, we contend that design experiments represent a premier emerging methodology to...
